SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs have signed Tiago Splitter, three years after drafting the heralded big man from Spain.
The 6-foot-11 center has played in the Spanish League since being picked 28th overall by the Spurs in 2007. Bringing Splitter aboard was the main offseason target for San Antonio despite a loaded free agent market.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available Monday.
Splitter was the MVP of the Spanish League last season. The 25-year-old from Brazil is expected to immediately give depth alongside Tim Duncan in the frontcourt.
